Co·lom·bia | Colombia, officially the Republic of Colombia is a sovereign state largely situated in the northwest of South America, with territories in Central America. The territory was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples, with as most advanced the Muisca, Quimbaya and the Tairona. The Spanish set foot on Colombian soil for the first time in 1499 and in the first half of the 16th century initiated a period of conquest and colonization, ultimately creating the New Kingdom of Granada, with as capital Santafé de Bogotá. Independence from Spain was acquired in 1819, but by 1830 the “Gran Colombia” Federation was dissolved. What is now Colombia and Panama emerged as the Republic of New Granada. The urban centres are mostly located in the highlands of the Andes mountains. Colombian territory also encompasses Amazon rainforest, tropical grassland and both Caribbean and Pacific coastlines. Ecologically, it is one of the world’s 17 megadiverse countries, and the most densely biodiverse of these per square kilometer. The country is a middle power and a regional actor with the fourth-largest economy in Latin America. Colombia has a diversified economy with macroeconomic stability and favorable growth prospects in the long run. – Wikipedia
